Samba Carnival in Asakusa, Tokyo

Every year, on the last Saturday of August, they have a Samba Carnival at Asakusa, Tokyo.

Samba dancers from all over Japan participate in it, dancing down the street in various costumes.

And like Japan, there was a dancing team wearing costume from an online game "Ragnarok Online".

There were also a team of dancers dressed in costume based on various countries, looking like "It's a small world".

There's one more video that somehow cannot be thumbnailed, but here's another one if you're interested.

You're lucky if you see one

This is a 50th anniversary version of the Yamanote-line, a train circling around Tokyo area.

There's only one going around Tokyo, so  you're lucky if you are to see one.

Other trains were the same such as Keihin-Tohoku line (all blue), Sobu-line (all yellow).

It was easy in a sense that the trains were color coded.

Carnivorous dinosaurs in Tokyo!

There's a dinosaur skeletal exhibition in Tokyo area right now.

The photos in this article are from the display at Marunouchi building in Tokyo.

They also have hervibore dino display at a different building called Oazo.

Although the displays are bone replicas, still, you can enjoy them!

Promotion of an animation called "Valbrave"

A promotion of a new robot animation called "Valbrave" inside JR Akihabara station terminal.

As you can see, the model is pretty tall...about 2.5 meters (8ft)?

Always wonder what happens to this model after promotion...

Love this! General Franky (Comic: One Piece) model

Had a chance to bump into a show case displaying character models from the famous comic One Piece.

One of the character I love is this robot called "General Franky".

Why do I love it?  It uses coke as its fuel!!
